That was a lot to take in all at once so Im gonna address the complaint I saw the most. Stripping the knot: the stripper (wiper arm) should swing across the heel of the billhook and COME IN CONTACT WITH IT about 1/4 to 3/8 of an inch from the tip of the billhook. To secure this adjustment the wiper arm is carefully bent. The arm is malleable iron for this purpose. Do not be too concerned about how loose it is in the knotter frame, the adjustment will overcome this. One thing that was unclear to me was is the knot failing to be wiped off the billhook, or are the ends of the twine simply gripped in the jaws? If it is the latter, this is not your tying problem. Soon as the bale moves, it will pull the twine from the jaws and this also serves to pull the knot tighter. A picture of the failed knot would be helpful. You really,really need to get a Ford baler book which trouble shoots the knotter thoroughly, especially if you had the whole thing apart it needs to be set up again. I have a spare 530 book if you need one, just PM me.

They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
